In another incident, Prasanna Parvathi, 57, lost her gold chain in front of her house at Shankarapuram. At 5.45 am, when she was drawing rangoli, two men on a motorcycle approached her on the pretext of asking directions to an address. They snatched her chain, weighing 40 grams, and fled.
In Jayanagar, a homemaker filed a police complaint, stating that when she was walking on 41st cross, at 9.45 am, two motorcycle-borne men coming from opposite direction snatched her gold chain weighing 70 grams.
The police also registered a case wherein a woman stated that two motorcycle-borne men tried to snatch her chain at Padmanabhanagar at 8.30 am. They could not succeed as she raised an alarm for help.
DCP (south) Sonia Narang said a single gang was behind all the incidents. She said the police had information about the culprits and they would be arrested in a couple of days.
Without a son, man kills wife
A 42-year-old man working as domestic help killed his wife in Thyagarajanagar on Thursday allegedly because he had two daughters from her and no son.
The victim, Shivamma, 36, was also working as domestic help with her husband in a house in Bairappa Block. The houseowner had given them a room in his house. It was in this room that he killed her by strangling her, at 1.30 pm.
The police said Shivamma had got married to Kumara, 42, 15 years ago. The couple had two daughters, but Kumara wanted a son. The police said Kumara often used to beat his wife for not giving birth to a son. Also, he was planning to get married to another woman because he wanted to father a son.
Kumara fled from the house after killing his wife. The incident came to light at 2 pm when the houseowner sought Shivamma’s help, but found her dead in her room.
The body has been shifted for postmortem. Thyagarajanagar police are on the lookout for Kumara.
